Regular Season Round 90: Miami Heat - Dallas M. 72-93
Date: January 30, 2015
Down by 16 points in the second half, the Dallas Mavericks were in big trouble. For a couple minutes, anyway. The Mavericks pulled off the ultimate turnaround - going from the receiving end of a blowout to administering one, and doing so with almost unbelievable speed and ease. A 37-2 run was more than enough, and the Mavericks embarrassed Miami with a 93-72 win on Friday night. It was the 600th regular-season victory for Dallas coach Rick Carlisle and another troubling chapter in the erratic story of the Heat season. "At some point you say, 'This is enough,' " Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We don't know how we get into these situations, but it will change." Dallas trailed 49-33 in the third quarter. No Dwyane Wade, no Luol Deng, and no chance for the Heat once the run started for the Mavericks. Charlie Villanueva scored 14 of his season-high 20 points after halftime for Dallas, which got 12 points apiece from Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis, and an 11-point, 13-rebound effort from Tyson Chandler. "You've got to beat the guys that are out there and Miami is well-coached, they're athletic, they're going to play hard, so we had to take this game," Nowitzki said. "They weren't going to give it to us and that's what we did there in the second half." Miami's Hassan Whiteside had 16 points and 24 rebounds, matching the second-most for a single game in franchise history. James Ennis scored 15, Chris Bosh had 12 and Mario Chalmers scored 10 for the Heat, who now head out on a week-long road trip clinging to the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference. "Speechless," Whiteside said, when asked about the second-half collapse. Whiteside was dominant early with 14 rebounds in the first 8 minutes alone, and the Heat led 45-33 at the half. When Whiteside went out late in the third, Miami led 60-51. When he returned, Miami was down 72-60, having been outscored 21-0 during his absence - and the run just kept going. So now, without Wade on Friday night - and probably for a few more games - because of his strained hamstring, the Heat need "all hands on deck," Spoelstra said. Some of those hands on Friday? Norris Cole shot 1-for-10, Shawne Williams shot 1-for-6, Danny Granger shot 0-for-6. Take away Whiteside's 7-for-11 night, and the rest of the Heat shot 22-for-77 - 29%. "Just a tough one," Heat guard Tyler Johnson said. Courtesy of: usatoday.com
